I Don’t Want to Be Turned into a Girl by Magic

Chapter 261 : Park Walk

Chen Yao realized that even though he and Lin Nan had become boyfriend and girlfriend, their relationship still seemed to remain the same as before.

At most, they could hold hands now?

And Lin Nan's psychology seemed to have become somewhat more feminine. Every time she saw him, she would unconsciously blush.

He had been helping his family deliver takeout for the past few days, but starting today, delivery workers on the platform were returning to work, so he could stay home and properly keep Lin Nan company, deepening their feelings.

However, should he change how he addresses her to Nan Nan?

He sat in front of the computer, absentmindedly opening his phone's photo album, only to suddenly discover that something seemed to be missing.

Some of the secretly taken photos of Lin Nan were gone, and the beautiful women's pictures were also missing.

He suddenly thought of something bad and hurriedly opened his computer, clicking on his study materials folder, only to discover in shock that the good stuff he had saved for years was completely gone!

Chen Yao lamented and checked the recycle bin as a last hope.

But it was empty.

"Thank goodness there's still cloud storage."

He clicked on the cloud storage software on his desktop, looking at the auto-login page, then suddenly fell silent.

Sure enough, everything in his cloud storage had also been completely deleted.

"She's a devil, isn't she?"

"What did you say?" Lin Nan happened to push open the bedroom door, using a dry towel to wipe her hair while asking in confusion, "What devil?"

"Nothing." Chen Yao immediately changed his tune.

He turned to look at Lin Nan who had just bathed, but his gaze was uncontrollably drawn to her.

Lin Nan's face was already small and delicate, and now with her hair wet and clinging to her cheeks, it made her palm-sized face look even more like a doll's. The hair she hadn't cut since August last year now reached her shoulders, and water droplets had dampened her collar, which clung to her delicate collarbones, particularly alluring.

Although the temperature had been below ten degrees a few days ago, now that the cold air had passed, it had risen back to nearly twenty degrees. Lin Nan was only wearing a thin shirt, her figure graceful and exquisite, making Chen Yao's mouth go dry.

However, Lin Nan quickly put on an outer coat, covering her figure.

After wiping her hair until it was half-dry, she tossed the towel on the bedside table and looked up at Chen Yao, who had the appearance of a proper gentleman.

"In a few more days I'll have to go back," she said.

"Mm." The entire city hadn't discovered any new cases in over ten days, and people were gradually starting to relax. The road blockades were no longer as strict as before, and they would probably be completely lifted in a while.

There were slightly more pedestrians and vehicles on the streets than a few days ago, but unfortunately there was nothing fun on the streets. Forget about movie theaters and internet cafes, even restaurants could still only do delivery.

"I heard university classes will be delayed. Conservative estimate is around April. We'll probably have to take online classes." Normally, school started around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but now there was no news at all about classes starting in the class group chat.

Lin Nan actually quite wanted to go back to school. After all, school had more friends, and there were fixed things to do every day, rather than aimlessly playing on the computer and phone every day.

She was quite bored after playing games all week.

"How about going out for a walk?" Chen Yao suggested. "We can take the entry permit and just walk around somewhere with few people."

"Alright. Let me dry my hair first."

Lin Nan had been staying here for half a month now. Her range of activity hadn't extended beyond Chen Yao's front door, and she had long since gotten bored.

Her hair was getting longer and longer, inevitably blocking her vision. Now Lin Nan could only give up on bangs and comb her hair to both sides.

At first she wasn't quite used to seeing her forehead exposed, but now she had gotten used to it.

She hadn't really used conditioner from the start, but perhaps due to magic, her hair was softer than an ordinary girl's, and she didn't have many problems like tangles.

Using Auntie's comb to comb through her hair several times, Lin Nan discovered she already had long, black hair.

If she had time to cut some bangs, it would probably look even better, right?

She had already gotten used to feminine styling. In appearance, she could no longer see any trace of that boy from before. Those eighteen years of memories were like a dream.

She felt her experiences were very unreal. She inexplicably encountered Lilith, inexplicably became a girl, inexplicably had a boyfriend...

She was somewhat afraid that all this was actually still just an ethereal dream.

"Ready to go?" Chen Yao put on his socks and stood behind Lin Nan asking.

"Mm."

Lin Nan proactively grabbed Chen Yao's palm, lowering her head, her face flushing.

He sensed the unease in Lin Nan's heart and grinned at her: "You sure you wanna hold hands outside?"

"Can't we?" Lin Nan gave him the back of her head, muttering quietly, "You've already carried me out before anyway..."

About ten minutes later, the two appeared in a nearly empty park.

Many people had lost their vigilance about the epidemic, but after all, there were no shops open for business on the streets. Aside from buying daily necessities, people generally just took a walk around the streets to get some air.

Lin Nan wore a mask, somewhat unaccustomed to the obstructed feeling when breathing. The park wasn't very large: a stretch of low trees, small paths, wrapping around an oval-shaped artificial lake. In the past, whether morning or evening, you could see old men fishing and relaxing here. The stone path was covered with dead leaves and broken branches, and sparrows or some unknown bird species in the treetops kept calling.

The two held hands wandering through the park. Lin Nan was still somewhat shy at first, keeping her head down and not speaking, but after just ten minutes or so, she gradually relaxed.

"After we graduate from university, should we work near the school, or come back here to work?" Chen Yao had one hand in his pocket, the other palm completely wrapping Lin Nan's hand.

Lin Nan's nails were trimmed just right, pink and tender, like embedded flower petals, making Chen Yao's gaze focus only on her hand while ignoring the park scenery.

"I don't know." Lin Nan lightly shook her head. She had never been someone who planned for the future. After pondering for a moment, she suggested, "Up to you. Whatever you want to do, I'll follow."

"I want to be a shut-in at home, freeloading and waiting for death my whole life." Chen Yao laughed.

Lin Nan raised her head and rolled her eyes at him. Those fox-like eyes were already charming and alluring, this eye roll was even more like casting a flirtatious glance.

"Let's see. My family wants me to take the civil service exam, saying it doesn't pay much but it's stable." Chen Yao became serious. "But I want to serve in the military for two years, and when I come out, go to big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou to struggle for a while."

"Why go to the big cities?"

"People should climb higher. Can't always stay in a small county town without moving, right?"

Lin Nan quite agreed with his statement.

"Plus, big cities have better schools. Our kid..."

Chen Yao's toe suddenly hurt sharply. He saw Lin Nan with a completely nonchalant expression let go of his hand, and her steps also moved farther away.
